I’LL BE ME...a poem by Hikmah Olawore

         I try to do things right

         Do it with all my might

         But just before it is night

         Something makes me light.

    5.   Just before it is time

          Everything suddenly becomes tight

          Why can’t you leave me?

          Why do you want to try me?

          Just leave me to my thing.

   10.  Unless you want to learn the lesson

          You think I could not give.

          Just leave me to my thing

          And let me be the real me.
